An Insider's view of TravelPerk

What’s the vibe like in the office?

The office feels very warm and natural. Atmosphere is built on people, and the people I work with are great. Your interactions are not limited to only your team or certain individuals; you can easily walk from one end of the office to the other and have a real, genuine conversation with everyone along the way.

What does your typical day look like?

As an Account Manager, I have the unique opportunity of wearing multiple hats. The primary focus of my role is to provide exceptional client engagement to support their business growth. While my clients remain my top priority, I stay connected and involved with cross-functioning teams to share ideas and collaborate on projects throughout the day.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I found my passion in sales during my internship with TravelPerk. Since then, I've had the chance to learn different aspects of the business from account management to marketing, operations, product, and HR. As the company grew, so did I. Today, I'm part of the US leadership team and manage a team of Account Executives in our new Miami office.
